Add Swimming animation via skill or action!
Comments
I think it'd be neat. To mention some possible uses (and tie it in with some other suggestions I've seen around - namely improving life skills and doing something with gems), it'd be neat if we could swim out to certain spots to use metallurgy or fishing to gather special materials. The Oasis comes to mind. This would also have been a neat way to access the shipwreck in Scathatch. This would be a neat way to allow us to reach the islands near Emain Macha too. Maybe they could finally reveal what that one sign says.
It doesn't even have to be a new skill (I'd personally like to cool it on new skills for a bit). Imagine some diving gear that works like the hot-air balloons. Speaking of, I imagine creating a swimming area would be as simple ('simple') as creating another alternate dimension like the flight zones.
What this person is saying. I don't think it should be a skill, but more like flying. Also like flying, it'd be great if you could not only just swim along the surface, but go deeper underwater as well to a certain extent to explore.
With a separate swimming area that functions like the hot-air balloons, maybe have breathing gear that functions like the flint fueling the balloons--the oxygen meter gradually lowers and an item of some sort is necessary to refill it when it gets low. And if it runs out completely? The player is automatically forced to surface again. A new star-collecting daily could actually spawn from it too if they go with this.
If not, just general swimming around in certain water areas like the Oasis sounds great. I've always wanted to swim in this game.

Well, even if the flight-like swimming isn't possible, I'm sure basic movement with a swimming animation is. After all, we already appear to sink through the ground at random and walk on water in some places (or at least we used to). There are also areas that force the player to walk (in shadow missions, but I don't see why it can't be done elsewhere). Just do this and have a special animation play when we're in the water.
I love these ideas!
